Discussion
Species 366 (1 in the flora).
Thesium is closely related to the South African endemic Osyridocarpos A. de Candolle (J. P. Der and D. L. Nickrent 2008). For this reason and because Africa contains the highest species diversity, this region can be assumed to be the center of origin for Thesium.
